a STARTLING FACT.
It Is not commonly known tina;

1t Is not commonly known that q large
proportion of the rheumatism and neu-
ralgia extant is traceable directly to the
diseased condition or imperfect action Of
the kidneys and liver; therefore.a remedy
which cures the resulting disease must
have found and smitten the first cause.
Many persons using .Athlophoros for
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised to find that chronic disorders of
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly on these organs,
cleansing them from all Irritating sub
stances and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with Athlophoros Pills this
is, without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world, and
will cure a large proportion of those who
have these diseases.
Charles F. Griffin, Stuart, Iowa, says:
"I'have not had ar ache Or pain of rheu-
m~atisEasince Iusedth Athiophoros, which
is now over ayear ago. For three months
my store was closed, not being able to at
tend to my business at all. My joints
were swollen and there did not seem to Ne
n part of my body that did not ache.
After saffiering.in this way until the pain
was almost beyond endurance, / went to
the Colfax Springs to try the effects of the
water. The day left home I had to be
carried down stairs. After remaining at
the Spring q month ! came back, being

that I learned of Athlophoros. Isert for

A Wonderful Sea Cave.

The ''Blue Grotto" of the Island of
Busi, which was discovered in 1884, has
become one of the most noteworthy
sights of that interesting quarter of the
Adriatic. The entrance TO the cave is
about seven feet wide and five feet high,
with sixteen feet depth of water, and
spacious enough to admit, when the sea
is still, boat carrying ten or twelve per
sons. This entrance forms thread like
canal, inclosed between steep walls,
which is shrouded in its first halfin deep
darkness; but the farther one presses in,
the more evident and clear becomes pc
culiar twilight effect, by which one can
soon discern the breadth and height Of
the interior, illuminated by surprising
play of colors. At first the water un-
der the keel of the boat appears Of
dark blue-green; then the color gradually
changes 10 a clear blue, and at last to an
azure, which grows lighter and brighter,
and finally the visitor finds himself set,
as if by enchantment, into a broad high
space, the ground Of which is filled with
brilliant shimmering, blue food, whence
streams out a soft light, covering every
thing visible with a strange glamour The
illumination appears TO come from under
the sea. The oars appear silver-white in
the transparent blue Hood, and the stones
under the watef like semi-lrstrous silver
while the waves themselves exhibit the
various changes Of the shades Of blue.

A Famous Detective.

James Jackson, the famous State detec-
tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties
are to examine carefully the face of every
convict as he enters, and to scrutinize
every visitor in order to prevent any dis
charged convict from seeing his pals.
Occasionally he has to make long jour
neys in pursuit of runaway prisoners or to
identify criminals convicted in other
States. He never makes a mistake; if
once he looks a man in the eye he will
know him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by the look of his eyes. Once an
escaped convict had his nose pared
down One-third but Jackson detected
him at once, Notwithstanding this remark
able change of feature. Mr.. Jackson
is about feet inches in height, about
80 years old, of light and sinewy build,
with black hair and piercing black eyes,
and is altogether remarkably handsome.
He knows about 10, 600 criminals, and it
is simply wonderful that he can distin-
guish the features of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fatigued by the jolt
ing of the cars on his tiresome trips he
uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him
renewed vigor and quickly relieve him
of all WEAKNESS. These are the only two
remedies he uses, and he attributes his
vigor and remarkable health to Allcock's
Porous Plasters and Brandreth's Pills.

One by one the landmarks of the Revo-
luton in New York City are disappear
ing. Hamilton Grange, located on the
est side of Tenth avenue, between 141st
and 145th streets, once the home of Alex
ander Hamilton, has been invaded by a
small army of mechanics and laborers,
who are digging sewers, grading streets,
building houses and otherwise forcing the
natural beauties of scenery to give way to
the march of modern improvements.
Convent avenue is laid out through the
center of the farm. OF the thirteen trees
planted,by Alexander Hamilton, it is said,
to commemorate the original States of the
Union, twelve are still standing. The
other tree died about the time that the
civil war began.

Shoplifters in Paris.

The latest statistics, based upon pc
riod of five years, show that 150 thefts a
day are committed, on the average, in the
thirty principal dry goods stores of Paris,
writes Theodore Child to the New York
Sun. The temptation is so strong and
women are so weak. Furthermore, eXpe-
rience has shown that not one-quarter Of
the thieves are caught. In order to avoid
mistakes, no arrest is made until after a
second theft by the same person. The
municipal police watch only outside the
shops; inside the watching is done by
private policemen. Any person caught
thieving outside the shop is taken at once
to the police station; person caught in
the act inside the shop is taken immedi-
ately before the council of administra-
tion, which is convoked instantaneously
by electric bells, whose tinkling may be
invariably heard by afternoon visitors in
the Bon Marche. The guilty person is
searched, and if she-for it is always
she-confesses and proves her identity,
the council allows her TO make a written
engagement to pay for what she has
stolen, and TO authorize a search in her
house without the intervention of the au-
thorities. In this dOmiciliaTy visit, the
representative of the Louvre or Bon
Marche only. takes back goods that have
not been used, According to her rank,
her position, her fortune, the incriminated
lady pays a sum varying between 500
and So, 900, which sum is supposed to go
the poor, though it is the opinion of NJ.
Mace that a large part remains in the
pockets of the council of administration
thus sefelected into a tribunal In the
great Partisan dry goods stores none but
professional thieves and pickpockets are
prosecuted before the tribunal; klepto-
maniacs, real or supposed, and society
ladies who yield to temptation, are sim
ply brought before the tribunal of the
council of administration. NJ. Mace says
that in Paris alone there are upward of
000persons OF all ranks and classes who
are afflicted with the monomania of thiev-
ing in shops.

A Rats Revenge.

Pick McKeon, a well-known employe
on the wharves of the Pennsylvania Com
pany, assures me that he has seen many
an old rat lose its eye in fight with the
sparrows. Once he saw a sparrow caught
by one-eyed rat. The quadrupcd had
apparently lost his eye in one of the oat
troubles some weeks before. 1t was clear
that it was animated by a spirit of re-
venge "For two days" says Pick, II
saw the rat lying on his back, under a
string piece, as though dead. One of
Daddy Reid's horses was spilling oats
near by and the sparrows were filling
themselves. The third day the horse had
a tantrum and shook the oats all over the
rat. The sparrows ate the scattered oats
first. They were evidently suspicious of
the rat, although he had been laying
there at their dinner hour for two DAYS.
Finally bold little cock went up to the
rat and began to pick the oats from be-
tween his hind legs. In a iilry the rat
doubled on him. There was snap like
the blades of jack-kniie The sparrow
gave a lutter and a dying gasp, and the
rat dragged him away with one wing
trailing behind him Ne, York lStar.

DIR. Bernheim, the distinguished physi-
ologist-of Nancy, France, goes far in a
paper reeently-published by him, to prove
the well known theory that the mind of
man in certain pathological state be-
comes automatic, speaking and acting
by the suggestion of others without self
control. He says that this state of mind
can be produced by training, and was
produced in case of Moritz scharf, of
Tisza-E -Eslar, who told a long story of
falsehoods before the court, always in
nearly the same words, accusing his father
of the murder of that girl Esther. Dr.
Bernheim maintains that the boy Moritz,
by terror and corporeal sufferings, was
tortured into that pathological condition
and then repeated automatically what he
had been taught to say.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
How to Make Home Attractiv,

Keep the house clean. Cleanliness is
next to godlihess. A clean home makes
its inmates clean. Outward cleanliness
is the symbol of inward purity. Make
your rooms bright and CHEEKY and not too
nice for the boys and girls to enjoy. If
you cannot afford expensive pictures, buy
cheap ones that are bright, pretty and in
good taste. Beautify the home and thus
beautify the childhood of your sons and
daughters. Train them to help you in
your tasks. Divide with them the toll,
and they will double the pleasures of your
home. If child shows ability or talent
in any direction, allow him to cultivate
it. Encourage and praise his efforts.
Let him know he is appreciated, and that
his plans and purposes are matters of vital
interest to his parents. Teach your chill
dren to control their tempers by con-
trolling your own. Lastly, don't fret.

The Jacksonville Times Union gives
data showing very satisfactory condi-
ton of the orange industry in Florida
The gratifying fact has been developed
this winter that Florida orange growers
have little to fear from California and
Mediterranean competitors. The prices
for fine bright Florida oranges have been
good for the greater part of the season
in fact, all through except for few
weeks when the markets were glutted
with over shipments, and when the
weather was so unfavorable as to render
it almost impossible for the dealers to do
anything in the Northern cities, In both
the Eastern and Western markets the
Florida oranges brought top prices, com
pared with California and imported or
anges of similar grades. The Times Union
says the indications are, if the estimates
of Florida oranges already sent to market
and more than nine-tenths of them
have probably been marketed-are cor
rect, that the crop of the year 1S86-s7
will reach overa million boxes, or nearly
double the estimates made by many Of
the best posted growers early in the sea-
son. Should no disaster oyertake the
orange crop, that of next season viii
probably be at least 1900. 900 boxes.

Care of lamps.

To insure good light, the burners of
petroleum lamps should be kept bright.
If they are allowed to become dull, the
light is uncertain, and, owing to the alb
sorption of heat by the darkened metal,
smoke is the result. Once a month place
the burners in pan, covering them with
cold water, to each quart of which
tablespoonful of washing soda should be
added, and also little soap. Boil slowly
for one or two hours, and at the end of
this time pour off the blackened water.
Then pour enough boiling water into the
pan to cover the burners, adding soap and
soda in the same proportions as before.
After boiling again afew minutes, pour off
the water, rinse the burners with clear,
hot water, and rub dry with a soft cloth.
The burners must be perfectly dry before
the wicks are introduced. Should the
wicks become clogged with the particles
of dust floating in the oil, and new ones
not be desired, they may be boiled in
vinegar and water, dried thoroughly, and
put back into the burners. If wicks have
done duty all winter, they should be re-
placed by new ones in the spring. Nickel
burners may be boiled as well as brass
ones. Time spent in the care of lamps is
never wasted. A perfectly clear lamp
that gives brilliant light is great com
fort. What more cheerless or depressing
than an ill-kept lamp, which gives forth
an unsteady, lurid, sight-destroying flame.
The paper roses, guelder-roses, and chry-
santhemums, so popular for decorative
purposes, are admirable for placing in the
lamp chimneys to keep out the dust dur
ing the day, and the wicks should be
turned little below the rim of the burn
er. to prevent exudation of the oil.
